LSH Infra-Pertama Makmur JV awarded Bandar Malaysia-Seri Kembangan Elevated Highway project

The Malaysian government has awarded the Bandar Malaysia-Seri Kembangan Elevated Highway (BSE) project to a joint venture between LSH Infra Sdn Bhd and Pertama Makmur Sdn Bhd. This strategic infrastructure development aims to enhance connectivity and alleviate traffic congestion in the Greater Kuala Lumpur region. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi stated that the Cabinet had given the project its initial approval, demonstrating the MADANI Government's dedication to providing impactful infrastructure that promotes economic growth and national competitiveness in a sustainable way.

The BSE is envisioned as a high-capacity connecting route that will integrate several major highway networks, including the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway, Maju Expressway, Sungai Besi Expressway, New Pantai Expressway, Shah Alam Expressway, and the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Dispersal System network. By creating an alternative route for road users, the project will facilitate movement between the northern, southern, and east coast corridors of Peninsular Malaysia.

Both LSH Infra and Pertama Makmur bring extensive experience in construction and infrastructure-related projects. LSH Infra, a subsidiary of Lim Seong Hai Capital Bhd, is involved in construction, building materials, lighting, mechanical and electrical products, machinery rental, property development, and facilities management. Pertama Makmur, a bumiputera-owned company, is a CIDB G7 contractor and has completed over 50 projects with a cumulative contract value exceeding RM1.4 billion.

Following the approval in principle, the Works Ministry, in collaboration with relevant agencies, will conduct negotiations and detailed assessments to finalize the project's implementation structure. The government has committed to a private-sector financing approach, ensuring that the project's implementation will not involve direct financial commitments from the Federal Government.
